This site is all over the map. One minute Trump has 38% and the next he has 25%.

Going to politico or somewhere else.

Juan Williams said that Trump did ok but that Cruz/Rubio have exceeded expectations. What BS.

Ted and Marco ONE VOTE APART!!!!!

[LS]

Trump has peaked.

Course, next he’ll peak in NV, then AL, FL, GA, MA . . .

[kabar]

As I said earlier when I campaigned at the polls today, about one in three voted for Trump based on their reaction to our Trump signs, giving either a thumbs up or telling us. Not a big sample, but 33% sounds about right to me.

[Shortstop7]

Yeah... I’m still waiting to see if CNN is gonna call it.

Megan Kelly and crew are doing their best to try to spin it as a Trump loss because he doesn't appear to be winning by quite as much as some pre-election polls said he would. Then Brit Hume said every Republican except Newt Gingrich who won South Carolina went on to get the nomination, and one of the women on the panel, rolled her eyes, sneered and said, “Well I guess the election is over then, we might as well go home.”

“After attacking the Pope, Donald Trump eked out a disappointing win with only 32% of the vote. But the real story of this campaign is Marco Rubio’s surge to a strong 2d place finish!”

From the Faux News desk. We report, we decide.

[kempster]

To call it for Trump with 1 or 2% means that the exits showed substantial Trump support no matter how they want to try to spin all that Evangelical, race, veteran and other stuff.

This has to be a big let down for Fox. They will have no story and they will have to keep saying the word Trump.

[Carry me back]

Yep, an idiot.

[stars & stripes forever]

FOX NEWS has called the primary for TRUMP.

[TomGuy]

So, if Rubio comes in at #3 again, he wins, and if Trump doesn’t get more than 35% he loses — according to political consultant logic.

[Neu Pragmatist]

It is ...the Hitlary machine is just getting warmed up ... the big question will be , will Bernie’s Bern victims support Hitlary ?

[MNJohnnie]

That is my understanding. They allocate a certain number of delegates base on who wins each Congressional Delegate.

Cruz back in 2nd

Bush, Kaisch and Carson all back into single digits

[b4me]

found this on NYTimes - article saying the associated press already says that Trump won Sc primary?

[HoosierWordsmith]

With only a few % in, the results could fluctuate because the vote is coming in from different areas....some stronger for one candidate over another...to early to know the real umbers...

[LS]

That’s interesting because in ALL the polls I’ve analyzed, Trump has led pretty strongly over Cruz among college educated.
